Domestic Violence Awareness Month, October 2005

The Women’s Law Caucus will work in conjunction with the Family
Law Society to hold activities relating to Domestic Violence Awareness
Month. Events that were held last year that we will be considering
again for this year are: handing out purple ribbons which represent
domestic violence awareness free of charge, a domestic violence brownbag
lunch, and a presentation on domestic violence. This year we will
be participating in the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk on
October 15th. We are currently creating a program of activities for
this October. If you have any suggestions, please contact either
Amy Graham at graham49@msu.edu or
Keri VanNorman at vannorm3@msu.edu.

Michigan Battered Women’s Clemency Project

The Michigan Battered Women’s Clemency Project is run by Michigan
lawyers and volunteers, including students. The program seeks clemency
for women who are victims of an abusive history and were wrongly
convicted or have served more than enough time for the crime committed.
There will be a rally for this program in Lansing, Michigan at the
capital.

If you have any suggestions on topics you would like to see covered
in this newsletter, please contact Keri VanNorman at vannorm3@msu.edu.
